| 2 | The belief that women’s lives are much easier is exaggerated"Few" options lol. Try none. btw, you thing all guys just strut around all the time not worried about anything? Like, honestly I wouldn't be able to fend off a girl if I were drugged. I wouldn't be able to fight off a false rape allegation in case a girl sleeps with me and regrets it the next day. Men are just as scared as women. But when we say anything, all society has to say is "man up" or "women have it worse". | /r/PurplePillDebate | 31/07/21 01:29 AM |
| 1 | The belief that women’s lives are much easier is exaggeratedDating is like a job interview for guys in a tough job market where he (the employee) has to prove himself and she (the employer) isn’t even willing to meet halfway and will most likely not even contact him in case he didn’t get the job. Not even a “I’m not interested anymore” it’s just ghosting. btw, I understand women get hundreds of disgusting and even outright harassing messages both online and in-person. But what would you rather do: Would you rather be in a position to sort through a bunch… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/07/21 11:02 PM |
| 0 | CMV: Women are almost ubiquitously attracted to “bad boys”but then you're gonna settle down with a boring shmuck while fantasizing about the hot exciting guys you used to date. You women are unbelievable. "I just want a sweet guy who treats me right and doesn't bring too much drama into my life". Yeah, considering the kind of guys you go after that clearly isn't true | /r/PurplePillDebate | 30/07/21 12:47 AM |

| 2 | Why does dating feel like a hassle these days?So you're saying women should deliberately mislead men as to what kind of men women like? Are you saying that women should SAY they want vegetables but then eat nasty, unhealthy food that's bad for them? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/07/21 07:43 PM |
| 1 | Why does dating feel like a hassle these days?Exactly! You say "I've broken up with a few guys" but like 90% of the male population hasn't even dated more than one girl. Yes, you are privileged especially since you are very beautiful. I would be very intimidated to approach you and get to know you, let alone ask you out on a date. A FEW guys lol. I can't even get one girl to go out with me. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/07/21 05:08 AM |
| 1 | CMV: Women are almost ubiquitously attracted to “bad boys”you missed the point of the analogy | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/07/21 02:59 AM |
| 1 | CMV: Women are almost ubiquitously attracted to “bad boys”Women SAY they like one thing then go after another. And yes, ik it is true that people as a WHOLE generally want what they can't have and that people are unsure of the kind of people they want to be with especially when they are my age. And believe me when I say that I know men do the same thing sometimes: they SAY they want a genuine connection with a sweet girl but then go after the shallow, gold-digging bimbo. I've seen that happen with a couple of my guy 'friends' and even I was guilty of t… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/07/21 02:58 AM |
| 1 | Why does dating feel like a hassle these days?to get as many perspectives as I can. feel free to tell me yours, I am open to changing my mind and am curious as to what others think about the dating dynamic today,especially when it comes to women's power and dating behaviors (what they say versus what they go after) | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/07/21 02:27 AM |
| 1 | CMV: Women are almost ubiquitously attracted to “bad boys”Once you get a taste of the sports car, there is no going back. You can SETTLE for a lower-quality car but deep down, you feel resentful that you cannot be with the sports car anymore. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/07/21 02:19 AM |
| 1 | Women often say that they can't be nice or polite to men because it's interpreted as romantic interest by the latter. Do you think that is true?Things considered the bare minimum "being nice or polite" for MEN get women tons of dates. That's mainly because men have such low standards. Also, men don't get much positive attention from women so when they DO, it can be misinterpreted. Women get so much positive attention from men that basic kindness just flies over their head. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/07/21 01:22 AM |

| 7 | I often see that women here say that being a “bad boy” is not what attracts them? So then what are the qualities of these men that attracted/ are attractive then?After a while, people get overly familiar with each other and women especially like novelty in their relationships. That's why 70% of divorces are initiated by women: not "feeling unappreciated" really more "I'm bored and miss my bad boy ex" | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/07/21 01:16 AM |
| 4 | I often see that women here say that being a “bad boy” is not what attracts them? So then what are the qualities of these men that attracted/ are attractive then?Lol ofc you aren't. As a 20 [M] I'm sick of all these guys with no future getting all the women just cuz they're more "exciting". Then, when you trade that excitement for stability when you're older, you're gonna resent your husband for not being as exciting as the guys you used to date. Maybe in order to get more attention from women I should start smoking weed and skip half my classes to start smoking lmao. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/07/21 12:12 AM |
| 1 | I often see that women here say that being a “bad boy” is not what attracts them? So then what are the qualities of these men that attracted/ are attractive then?But is he the kind of guy you would MARRY? If not, you are just proving the Red Pill point that women date bad boys when they are young and hot but marry the more stable but less exciting men. This is a recipe for disaster cuz from what I've seen, once you women get a taste of the bad boy, there's no turning back. Don't trade excitement for stability. It never ends well. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/07/21 12:10 AM |
| 0 | When a woman makes a man jump through hoops for sex, he should immediately discard her and find another womanWhat about guys who say "I'm not paying for anything until we have sex"? Isn't that the same thing? Just like women withhold sex until getting some kind of emotional commitment, isn't it reasonable for men to withhold that kind of commitment until they receive sex? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 26/07/21 12:05 AM |
| 10 | Men here don't chase "all types of women". Otherwise, they wouldn't complain about one type of female.Imagine being the type of guy this was meant for without knowing it. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 25/07/21 05:59 PM |

| 1 | CMV: dating is not worth it for many men. Why is dating so frustrating for men? I was initially drawn to the Red Pill bc of frustrations in dating and I need help getting out. Please change my view.I DON'T want to give up. That's why I'm looking for people to change my mind | /r/ExRedPill | 21/07/21 03:54 AM |
| -2 | CMV: dating is not worth it for many men. Why is dating so frustrating for men? I was initially drawn to the Red Pill bc of frustrations in dating and I need help getting out. Please change my view.I'm just saying, I'd rather sift through garbage I didn't grow and still get at least 5 edible vegetables than grow an entire garden, and (if lucky), find two vegetables that are somewhat edible. Dating doesn't take a lot of work for women because if dating were like gardening, women wouldn't have to do gardening. They sift through already-grown vegetables whereas guys have to do the growing. I'd rather sift than grow because sifting usually has guaranteed results of at least a few good apples. | /r/ExRedPill | 21/07/21 02:50 AM |
| -3 | CMV: dating is not worth it for many men. Why is dating so frustrating for men? I was initially drawn to the Red Pill bc of frustrations in dating and I need help getting out. Please change my view.Not all women obviously but so many attractive women get a free pass for having no personality cuz they think looking pretty is enough...and they're right!!! Having personal hygiene and not being a total ass is considered the BARE MINIMUM for men but for women.........it's enough to get most guys interested. What makes a woman lazy is not wanting to put in effort into the relationship and still expecting the guy to keep up appearances and seem interesting. And if he falls a little short, she doe… | /r/ExRedPill | 21/07/21 01:39 AM |

| 2 | How important it's preselection (mate copying) as attribute for a men?Oh shoot, sorry I didn't see that. I still think it's important to point out tho, that women aren't willing to give men a chance...because women aren't willing to give those men a chance. It's a vicious circle. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/07/21 11:55 PM |
| 1 | Preselection & Social Proof ParadoxI don't think women are aware of their own though processes. If they think that way, they do it unconsciously. And yes, it is true that people generally want what they can't have and that people are unsure of the kind of people they want to be with. Men do the same thing sometimes: they SAY they want a genuine connection with a sweet girl but then go after the shallow, gold-digging bimbo.

| 3 | How important it's preselection (mate copying) as attribute for a men?Basic kindness, yes they have shown that but no woman has ever wanted to go further than "Hi, how's it going?" Trying to get to know them as human beings after meeting them in person and talking to them has gotten me nowhere. It has gotten me ghosted and ignored. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/07/21 11:14 PM |
| 6 | How important it's preselection (mate copying) as attribute for a men?If all women I've met (aside from my family members) treated me like that, what other conclusion can I come to? I have yet to meet one woman who wants to maintain a functioning relationship with me. They just stop talking to me and don't respond when I talk to them. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/07/21 11:09 PM |

| 1 | How important it's preselection (mate copying) as attribute for a men?"You don't even know and haven't met yet". Actually I HAVE met them then they just ghost me out of nowhere when I'm of no use to them. And this isn't just high school, it's college. If women are jerks to me, who else am I supposed to blame? | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/07/21 10:56 PM |
| 1 | Preselection and social proof -Catch22 scenario?I am in college and we are going in-person next semester. I am definitely doing that but I also did that freshman year before COVID hit and I got nowhere | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/07/21 10:55 PM |
| 6 | How important it's preselection (mate copying) as attribute for a men?I'm not an incel, I don't believe in Chads and Stacies. The world is more complicated than that. You just have no idea how often women claim to want the guy who listens to them and can have emotional one-on-one conversations with them about life but then go after the exact opposite: the typical party boy who can’t have a deep convo to save his life. It’s like paying for an overpriced ticket to ride what is most likely an average roller coaster but before that, having to go through an extremely d… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/07/21 10:47 PM |
| 3 | Preselection and social proof -Catch22 scenario?Oh god, what I'd do to get pumped and dumped by a woman. Honestly, if all it took was going to the gym 3 times a week, shaving my legs, and slapping on a little lipstick, I will take that deal even if it means others lie to me to use me. At least I'm getting laid and the validation I need to move forward. | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/07/21 10:42 PM |

It's not just women, people AS A WHOLE don't want anything to do with me. I just don't know where to start.

| 0 | How important it's preselection (mate copying) as attribute for a men?Most women only go for the top men (in social hierarchy, not just money or looks) and prefer men older than them. Thus, most men will never have much success in dating until their 30s when they have acquired the status, resources, and experience necessary to attract women. The guys that get young, hot women wet are very rare and the guys who aren't as exciting/bad boys but are husband material don't get much action until those young hot girls are 35-40 and their biological clocks are running out… | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/07/21 10:35 PM |

| 7 | When did you stop trusting men?I know a female divorce lawyer who has mainly male clients and I can't tell you how many women falsly accuse their men of abuse just to get a few extra bucks. And some of these couples have been together for years and meeting those women, you would think "she's different, she wouldn't do that" but even nice, "normal" girls do. That lawyer told me she can always predict when a false rape/abuse accusation is coming and there is nothing she can do about it unless the guy has proof he DIDN'T do it. … | /r/PurplePillDebate | 20/07/21 08:20 PM |
